Agree … I am slightly modding my Arctic Silver ‘09 Boxster S … wrapping in gloss black the rear diffusers, the spoiler, the side vents on the rear quarters, the lower mirror caps, and the front vents. Also having the 19” wheels refinished with a combination of black gloss with hyper chrome accents and lightly smoking the rear rails lights. Considering doing a ceramic coating … in terms of whether it’s right or not to mod a car, I can argue myself to sleep on that point … but my creative side always wins … I always mod a little. Have since my first 1969 beetle, but that’s a story for another time!

He will remember helping you paint for the rest of his life … and so will you.

basically done with this project.

I have a new IPD plenum kit and GT3 throttle body for sale if anyone is interested. I put them on for one week and pulled them back off. I didn't like the change. $800 for the whole kit, shipped from 48446 is someone needs them shipped.

Curious what you didn’t like about the IPD plenum GT3 throttle body? Was looking at an IPD ad in the PCA magazine last night and pondered whether to look into buying same. Feel free to send me a private message if this is better taken off line. Thanks
